   They’re missing the printing and distribution of project T-shirts. These usually are created in between the “Prototype” and “Time and Money” point.

   Then there’s the really nice polo shirts that come with the public launch. Put those betwen the “Update Product” and “Public Launch” boxes.

   I’ve got boxes and boxes of them from my time in Silly Valley.

   “There is no path to success if you have money and time.”

   Of course, the point of the flowchart is for you to share the fruits of your labors and ingenuity with them.

   The chart ignores the 95% of small business start-ups that fail; that preponderant possibility should have its own large green box, one completely dwarfing the others. Without it, one has more of a cartoon than flowchart.
